Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.8 km, climbs 20% for 200 m near the end, no steep descents.

Clockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 20% for 200 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 14.8–16.6, from 60 m to 170 m.
